Subject: Year of Jubilee for the Land? |
Bible Note: Doc --- I really like your thought about the exile providing the land with a much-delayed Sabbath. Reading further in Leviticus, I found that it is actually made explicit : They will be taken into the land of their enemies (v 41)... And if while they repent in Exile, God will "remember the land. For the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them." (verse 43) Pretty cool, eh? As for the "environmentalism" you referred to, I would suggest there is a Biblical model for caring for the environment that goes right back to the garden of Eden. Somehow, Leviticus pictures the year of Jubilee as freeing slaves, returning property, and also treating the "land" well. I'd like to understand this better. Here is a verse that points to our role as stewards of God's land (rather than owners who can do as we wish): "The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but aliens and sojourners with Me." Lev 25:23. Peace. JRM |
